E | 223951 | 114 | Identify and Select Projects | Identify and select projects based on partnership coordination with Pahsimeroi Subcommittee | Custer SWCD, with assistance from the Pahsimeroi Subcommittee of the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Program, has identified a list of projects that could be implemented in the next 2 years if funding is available, including but not limited to PBSC #2, Sulphur Creek Screening, water conservation projects in the upper basin reaches, and riparian fences. These potential projects will be identified in part by using the Salmon Subbasin Management Plan, physical and biological data collected locally, IRA/MRA, and other prioritization processes (in development) to focus on prioritized areas and actions, projects will be identified and prioritized based on the most current biological (fish) and physical habitat data. Then ranking will be completed by the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Tech Team. This prioritization will focus on benefits to all life stages of snake River Chinook and steelhead. This contract will provide for opportunity for the district to work with the planning team and landowners to determine viability of these projects and implementation time frames for future contracts. | $11,704 | 4.47% | 05/01/2021 | 04/30/2022 |
F | 223952 | 40 | Install Fence | Install 400 feet of Jack Fence on Last Chance Ranch Springs Creek at the spring head. | Secure fence materials and bid fence construction to begin during winter months. Construction of approximately 400 feet of a jack post and pole fence along the Last Chance Ranch Spring Creek. This will prevent livestock from accessing the riparian vegetation along the upper reach of Last Chance Ranch Spring Creek.
The fencing was ranked, by the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Tech Team, in conjunction with the Habitat project and ranked high (72). | $2,967 | 1.13% | 07/01/2021 | 03/31/2022 |
G | 223953 | 175 | Produce Design | Produce design for in-stream habitat restoration on Muddy Springs | The area of interest is Muddy Springs Creek, which is a tributary to the Pahsimeroi River. This was one of the four systems re-connected after the P-9 project. This project reach of Muddy Springs within the Hayes property is approximately 10,000 feet of meandering stream. The lower reach was de-watered through most of the year for many years and was reconnected as a part of the P-9 Project in approximately 2015. Much of the stream has recovered on it's own but additional in-stream structure and vegetative plantings could increase it's viability for all species of fish (including juvenile rearing Snake River Chinook and steelhead). This project will improve habitat forms and processes for juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. Juvenile salmonid habitat enhancement will be accomplished through narrowing the channel width by placement large woody debris, channel spanning logs and BDA’s along with extensive riparian planting. Intended flooding in some areas will help reduced sediment in both Muddy Springs and the Pahsimeroi. Project actions will provide overwintering and summer habitat for juvenile fish and address limiting factors for salmonid production in the Pahsimeroi River watershed, such as reduced stream complexity and degraded riparian conditions.
Under this work element engineers will be hired to develop a plan on this reach of Muddy Springs. The stream has been fully fenced and is currently a excluded from grazing. This project will likely be installed in three phases over the next three years.
Work with landowner, Engineer, IDFG and BPA to develop alternatives for Muddy Spring to improve and increase instream habitat in the two mile reach of Muddy Springs. This plan development will provide preferred alternatives for landowner and BPA to consider for funding in the following year BPA contract for implementation. It will also include options that may include alternatives that is desirable for wildlife that can be considered for other funding such as USFWS.
This work was prioritized as HIGH by The Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Tech Team and was ranked 78 (>61 is high priority). | $18,815 | 7.19% | 05/01/2021 | 04/08/2022 |
H | 223954 | 29 | Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity | Muddy Springs Creek Habitat Improvement Project - Phase I | The Muddy Springs Habitat Improvement Project will enhance habitat on 0.75 river miles in the Pahsimeroi River watershed. Muddy Springs Creek is a spring creek that connects to the Pahsimeroi River. Muddy Springs Creek flows into the Pahsimeroi in the heart of Chinook Salmon spawning habitat and is ideal summer and winter rearing habitat for juvenile fish. Muddy Springs Creek may also creates thermal refuge in the summer and winter as it maintains a steady water temperature and does not freeze. Muddy Springs Creek was historically grazed and much of the channel had been de-watered for over 50 years. Because it was a spring influenced channel, water continued to raise in the channel. Due to de-water for many years, Muddy Springs Creek lacks riparian vegetation and in-stream complexity. This project will improve habitat forms and processes for juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. Juvenile salmonid habitat enhancement will be accomplished through narrowing the channel width by placement large woody debris, channel spanning logs and BDA’s along with extensive riparian planting. Intended flooding in some areas will help reduced sediment in both Muddy Springs and the Pahsimeroi. Project actions will provide overwintering and summer habitat for juvenile fish and address limiting factors for salmonid production in the Pahsimeroi River watershed, such as reduced stream complexity and degraded riparian conditions.
The project will be designed by Quadrant as described in Work Element G, and implemented in summer/fall 2021 for a three phased project. This project was ranked high (78) by the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Project Tech Team on March 10, 2021. A 15% design has been provided to BPA in advance of the project being added to this SOW. | $118,999 | 45.44% | 05/03/2021 | 04/15/2022 |
I | 223955 | 34 | Develop Alternative Water Source | Install off stream stock-water on Last Chance Ranch | Install off stream stock-water on Last Chance Ranch in conjunction with IDFG in-stream project. The stock-water system will effectively remove all cattle from the Last Chance Ranch spring creek area. The IDFG project will improve habitat forms and processes for juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. Juvenile salmonid habitat enhancement will be accomplished through narrowing the channel width by placement of sedge mats and clumps, installing willow clumps, creating meanders, and extensive riparian planting. Project actions will provide overwintering and summer habitat for juvenile fish and address limiting factors for salmonid production in the Pahsimeroi River watershed, such as reduced stream complexity and degraded riparian conditions. Installing livestock watering systems will protect work installed through the IDFG project currently in contract with BPA. The stock-water system was ranked, by the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Tech Team, in conjunction with the Habitat project and ranked high (72). | $83,418 | 31.86% | 05/15/2021 | 12/30/2021 |
